Well, last night, I took matters into my own hands, and using the Sketchbook pocket and facing pieces, I added pockets to the Butterfly Skirt. Making this, officially, something I would wear any day! LOL! Maggie likes the pockets too. It was very easy and fast to do. Modeled pics coming to my blog soon, I’m sure!…[Read more]

I’m thinking of using the Sketchbook Shorts pocket as a basic starting point (but with a straight rather than curved opening). Has anyone tried adding pockets to the skirt?

While the method for bias facing in the pattern is nice and simple, I like cutting thinner strips of bias and then ironing the long sides towards the middle like single-fold bias tape. I feel like it…[Read more]

Plackets, bias binding, contrasting collars, cuffs, etc.

I confess, I would not feel comfortable with that level of matchy with my daughter, but to each their own! I am still scarred by my childhood in the 1980s. Nuff said.

The Field Trip and Sandbox patterns have wide legs.

I was considering Nature Walk pants for Maggie in pink sweatshirt fleece – poly fleece would be even warmer! I think the big thing for leggings is that the fabric needs to be pretty stretchy and have good recovery (snap back) – otherwise you’ll either have difficulty getting them on and moving, or you’ll have baggy knees and butt.

On the one hand I want more boy/unisex patterns! But on the other hand, I almost don’t need more, because a few patterns take you so far. I think that’s a big part of why there aren’t more patterns out there. How many…[Read more]

I did that with one of the pairs I made and ran into that problem. I never fixed it, just trimmed, and the final product was not noticeably different, but it did get me scratching my head a bit during assembly until I realized that there is a front and back to that side piece.
